Package privoxy-3.0.0-4

Privoxy is a web proxy with advanced filtering capabilities for protecting privacy, filtering web page content, managing cookies, controlling access, and removing ads, banners, pop-ups and other obnoxious Internet junk. Privoxy has a very flexible configuration and can be customized to suit individual needs and tastes. Privoxy has application for both stand-alone systems and multi-user networks. Privoxy is based on Internet Junkbuster (tm). Privoxy is NOT a firewall.

You will need to configure your browser(s) to use proxy address 127.0.0.1:8118. If you already have another service running on port 8118, or if you want to serve requests from other machines (e.g. on your local network) as well, you will need to override the default in section 4.1 of the configuration file (<fink prefix>/etc/privoxy/config). Similarly, if you already go through a proxy run by someone else (like an ISP's caching proxy), you will need to configure proxy forwarding in section 5 of the configuration file. To start Privoxy manually, use the command 'sudo privoxy --pidfile <fink prefix>/var/run/privoxy.pid <fink prefix>/etc/privoxy/config' and to stop it, use the command 'sudo kill `cat <fink prefix>/var/privoxy/privoxy.pid`'. To create a startup item, run 'daemonic enable privoxy' as root. The startup item will be removed automatically if you remove the package.
